In reality, debug-level logging creates a lot of log output, and so will tend to magnify any problems in operating system or QuickDNS Server code. We've tried our best to eliminate problems in our own code and work around problems in the operating system, but nobody's perfect. How many lines were entered into the log between setting it to debug and the crash? Of course, it is possible that the crash had nothing to do with the logging level. >And I found this in the log file.

It reflects a query from your server to h.root-servers.net regarding the root zone, which has no labels in its name (and is written as "."). Your server will send quite a few similar queries the first time after a restart that it gets a query about a name it doesn't know. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
